See the Films by Women Directors Who Received 2018 Grants from Women in Cinema in RTF at UT-Austin

Congratulations to the 2018 recipients of grants awarded by Women in Cinema, a UT student organization.This is the second year WIC has given out grants with the goal to increase the number of women directors in RTF advanced production classes.

Women in Cinema has done a great job with the grants! In 2016, there was only one woman director and 12 men directors in the undergraduate thesis class. After two years of grants, this year there are five women directors and five men directors in the thesis class.

Do you want to check out the projects that Women in Cinema gave grants to this semester? Several of them can be seen in the End of Semester Screenings Spring 2018 hosted by the Department of Radio-Television-Film at The University of Texas at Austin.
